Proverbs 24:25-31

²⁵But to those that punish delight shall be given, and upon them shall come the blessing of the good.

²⁶Men will kiss the lips of him that giveth a proper answer.

²⁷Prepare without thy work, and make it fit in the field for thyself: and afterward build thy house.

²⁸Be not without cause a witness against thy neighbor; for wouldst thou beguile with thy lips?

²⁹Say not, As he hath done to me so will I do to him: I will recompense every man according to his doing.

³⁰By the field of a slothful man I once passed along, and by the vineyard of a man void of sense:

³¹And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, nettles had covered its surface, and its stone-wall was broken down.
